So I have been thinking about getting the stripes painted on my 45th.
and recently a sponser of my local 5th Gen club has put a offer out there to paint the stripes on members cars.
Here is my dilemma...
If I go with the flat grey and gloss red it will leave a hard edge on the stripes.
if I go with both stripes gloss, they will clearcoat over them, protecting them a little bit more and they will blend in perfect (no edge)

What do you all think? I would love it to be perfectly smooth, but don't know how I feel about the grey stripes being Gloss.

I checked out a car at the shop today that had the matte stripes...
Wow the edge on a painted matted stripe is almost as big as the vinyl.
I am going to go gloss but add some flake to the red and grey. I am doing it the end of April and will post some pics. I am going to change the trunk stripe just a bit, but the front will be the same.
Also if I need to buff the paint the edge would need EXTRA care. That's part of the reason I want to get rid of the vinyl. LOL
